NASA's Artemis I mission will attempt its second launch on Saturday after its first was scrubbed due to an engine-cooling problem on Monday.
The highly-anticipated flight test around the moon will launch from the Kennedy Space Centre in Florida, with NASA targeting a liftoff time of 2:17 p.m. ET if all goes according to plan. Live coverage will begin at 12:15 p.m. ET.
The Artemis I is the first integrated test of NASA’s Orion spacecraft, Space Launch System (SLS) rocket, and the ground systems from the space centre.
The complex mission will last about six weeks as it travels about 40,000 miles beyond the Moon and back to Earth.
Artemis missions aim to return astronauts to the moon by 2024, more than half a century since the last lunar walk.
